《Come A long Way》歌词

[00:00:00] Come A long Way - Tanya Stephens

[00:00:01] Written by：V. Stephenson/A. Henton

[00:00:12] So we come a long way from the chains and the cane fields

[00:00:16] A long way from the back oh

[00:00:19] Shoulda brought along a little map for the travelling

[00:00:22] Seems we've come a long way from us

[00:00:25] Squander our money waiting on reparation

[00:00:28] Never make plans for retirement day

[00:00:31] Who's to be blamed for our lack of preparation

[00:00:34] Now we done spent every dime of our pay

[00:00:38] On big pimping flossing every dollar

[00:00:40] We've got on the much less fortunate

[00:00:44] Small thinking got us bound tighter

[00:00:47] Than the chains that we try to forget

[00:00:49] So tell me now Malcom do we hurt you pride

[00:00:55] Can you hear me now Rosa

[00:00:58] Was it worth the ride

[00:01:01] Do you see me now Marcus

[00:01:04] We're still not unified no we're not

[00:01:08] So tell me now Martin is this why you died easy

[00:01:15] So we've come a long way from picking cotton

[00:01:17] Many never thought they'd live to see the day when bush pick rice

[00:01:21] But if all you've become is another house

[00:01:24] Nigga baby tell me was it worth all the sacrifice

[00:01:28] Get outa my way while I climb to the top now

[00:01:31] But be sure to catch me if I fall from grace

[00:01:34] Cause heaven forbid

[00:01:35] If what I chase should reject me

[00:01:37] You know I'm gonna need a warm black embrace

[00:01:41] We used to stack guns prepare for revolution

[00:01:44] Was the only way of getting wrong put right

[00:01:46] Now we think all our problems

[00:01:48] Can be solved with shooting

[00:01:50] And we've forgot why we started to fight

[00:01:53] Now Malcom do we hurt you pride

[00:01:58] Can you hear me now Rosa

[00:02:01] Was it worth the ride

[00:02:05] Do you see me now Marcus

[00:02:07] We're still not unified no we're not

[00:02:11] So tell me now Martin is this why you died easy

[00:02:18] So we belittle we bredda so we can seem bigger

[00:02:21] Now we so damn proud fi call we self nigga

[00:02:24] And being a good man is a bad thing

[00:02:28] Now being a bad man is a good thing

[00:02:31] So it's rich or poor black or white

[00:02:34] Sit and be trampled or get up and fight

[00:02:37] After so many years it's still hard to adjust

[00:02:40] Even when the front is empty we still move to the back of the bus

[00:02:43] Tell me Rosa what's pride the right

[00:02:49] Can you hear me now Malcom

[00:02:52] No we hurt your pride

[00:02:55] Do you see me now Marcus

[00:02:58] We're still not unified no we're not

[00:03:02] So tell me now Martin is this why you died

[00:03:07] Tell me tell me now
